La Ciénaga
Movie • 2001 • Comedy
ReportChekhov in contemporary Argentina. Mecha and Gregorio are at their rundown country place near La Ciénaga with their teen children. It's hot. The adults drink constantly; Mecha cuts herself, engendering a trip to the hospital and a visit from her son José. A cousin, Tali, brings her children. The kids are on their own, sunbathing by the filthy pool, dancing in town, running in the hills with shotguns, driving cars without licenses. One of the teen girls loves Isabel, a family servant constantly accused of stealing. Mother and son, son and sisters, teen and Isabel are in each other's beds and bathrooms with a creepy intimacy. With no adults paying attention, who's at risk?

Early into the film a character falls and cuts her chest on a shattered wine glass. We see the cuts very clearly and fairly vividly see other characters helping her pick glass off the wounds. The scars on her chest from the incident are visible for most of the rest of the movie.

It's towards the very end of the film and left slightly ambiguous, as we never get a total confirmation whether they're dead or just very badly injured, but it seems pretty strongly implied that they die

There are several, though no graphic nudity is ever shown-- the most we see is people from the back, waist up.

I am not 100% sure what counts as audio gore but it is a very sound design heavy film and the sheer amount and layering of the various ambient noises may bother some people.
